Friday Goodies and Supplies

I had a bit of a spend up from Sew & So at the start of the week for my next 3 projects (these are for me to keep once stitched and finished)….My next 3 projects are Primitive Bettys “Spring Tyme Sampler” & BBD “Summer Iris” & “Their Song”. I ordered the WDW & GAST threads for these and also the DMC threads too. I also ordered a metre of 28c Jubilee which is lovely evenweave fabric and it is a good price too. I actually cut the pieces for the projects and tea dyed two of them for the larger projects…I was very impressed how they have come out….just the aged look I was hoping for :)  I had a nice large envelope arrive in the post too today from Tanya at The Sampler Girl, I pre-ordered her new Jane Austen Pattern book and also the Pride & Prejudice sampler chart, I need to decide what colours to do the P&P sampler as I am not that keen on the colours used on the model piece…a bit too bright for my taste.

I headed into town this morning as I needed some safety pins for attaching labels to all the baby clothes I am selling at the NCT sale next Saturday…(all 200 items!!), I went to Boyes which has everything you can imagine…lol, anyway I found the safety pins and I also found these…

The red & green fabric & ric-rac are for making Christmas gifts and the other pieces were just such a bargain, they were selling it at £1 a metre so I got 30cms of each….next to nothing eh!! I also picked up 2 balls of lovely lilac wool as grandma said she will knit another cardi for Martha…that came to the grand total of £2.18…BARGAINS BARGAINS BARGAINS…I LOVE EM!

Now my other confessions…please don’t scold me…I bought my Christmas cards and wrapping paper & tags….lol…I know it’s early but they were also on offer and it seemed silly not to buy them…so they will go with the pressies I have already bought in the secret drawer….lol

Well enough of my wafflings….have a good weekend….I am looking forward to another double bill of X-Factor…lol
